Cognitive Theory Project: Execution Assignment Instructions

Overview
Your goal with this project is to create a work of art meant to persuade the viewer about a particular idea. In part 1, you decided on a target audience and a specific message about which you are trying to convince them.

Instructions

• Step 1: Review your foundation work from part 1. Select the medium for your project.
• Step 2: Sketch, plan, and gather materials and inspiration.
• Step 3: Create and refine the project.
• Step 4: Complete and submit your project via a PowerPoint presentation prepared according to the guidelines below.

Presentation:

At the conclusion of your project, create a PowerPoint presentation which explains your knowledge of the theory, preparation for the project, and application of the theory in the creative project.

• Title slide: Cognitive Theory Project, Your Name
• Part 1 (1–5 slides): Explanation of cognitive theory as well as the mental processes and activities you accounted for in your project.
• Part 2 (3–8 slides):Research/inspiration, concept explanation (message), and concept development (planning, sketching, and showing the process).
• Part 3 (3–6 slides): Final product.
  • If you are submitting a hand-rendered piece, include 3 photographs of the entire piece from different angles.
  • If you are submitting a digital piece, include 1 fully rendered image of the piece. Additional images zooming in to parts of the piece are worthy of notation.

Notes on Format:

• Each slide must not contain every word you plan to say, but rather brief bullet points to trigger the memory/provide a guidepost for information to follow verbally.
• A more thorough written script must be included in the speaker’s notes section (what you would be saying if you were presenting this verbally).
• The overall presentation must be designed formally and consistently.
• Images must be of professional quality with the best possible lighting.
• Each presentation must be available in both PowerPoint and PDF formats. You may submit in a different format if the instructor can view the speaker’s notes or if they are attached in an additional document with a slide-by-slide script.
